Web2school Upgrade to 1.76.4 on 7/5/09
I am upgrading Web2School on 7/5/09 to version 1.76.4. Here are the new features:
New Features in v 1.76.4:
·Add New Student Window - The Add Student window now features the ability to add multiple students at one time, and optionally, a calendar, entry date, and entry and residency codes for those states requiring that data.
·New Entry/Withdrawal Date Window – The tool for mass assigning entry dates for students has been enhanced to also allow mass assigning of withdrawal dates. Some states require that seniors are withdrawn as of their last day of school, which may be different from the last day of the school calendar. The withdrawal date entered would be the day following their final day of attendance. This tool, which is available from the Tools -> Global -> Student -> Entry / Withdrawal Dates, is especially useful for Maine schools to do the MEDMS exports to the state.
·Homeroom Assignments – You now have the ability to assign students to homerooms randomly or alphabetically. Under Tools – Global – Homerooms – List of Homerooms, you select the homeroom(s) to assign, then select the group of students to be assigned, and choose whether to assign either randomly or alphabetically.
Grade Book / Teacher Desk:
Ability to Drop Lowest Grade – Teachers have the option to drop one or more of the lowest assignment grades in a selected assignment type or across multiple assignment types. Scores will still display in bold italic, but will not longer be part of the calculated grade. You may undo the drop to restore those grades to the calculation.
Pie and Bar Graphs – Assignment data may be viewed in a bar graph or a pie graph format. Simply click on the name of the assignment to display detailed statistics about the assignment, along with your choice of pie graph or bar graph of the assignment grade data.
Mailing Labels from Class Roster – Teachers may print mailing labels for all students in a given class roster. Click the Roster button on the left of the Teacher Desk, then click Mailing Labels. The labels will display on the screen. Click File, then Print.
Class Roster View or Print - Class rosters may be printed directly from the Edit Grade Book Roster window by clicking View Text, then File -> Print.
Discipline From Teacher Desk – The Add Infraction button has been added to the Teacher Desk so the teacher can enter a discipline incident without having to change windows.
Warning for wrong term – In Averages and Exams, the teacher will be warned if they attempt to put grades in for a Term that the course is not offered.
Scheduling:
Course Maximums – You may now schedule more than 250 students in a course. This is useful for schools that mass schedule lunch and other courses.
Modify Master Schedule Course and Teacher Selection - When adding a new course to the master schedule and selecting a teacher for a course, you may type in the first characters of the name rather than scrolling through the entire list.
Student Roster Capabilities Within Master Schedule – Students may be added to or removed from the schedule roster from within the Master Schedule. Click the Roster button for the course, and then Modify to open the Student Roster window for adding and removing students from the course.
Print Mailing Labels Within Master Schedule – Mailing labels may be printed for all students in a course from within the Master Schedule. Click the Roster button for the course, then click Mailing Labels.
Open Multiple Schedule Rosters – You may open multiple course schedule rosters simultaneously.
Reporting:
Additional Report Filters – The full range of report filters is now available for grade book threshold reports, report cards, and progress reports. Filters include Student, YOG, Gender, Categories, and Homeroom.
Schedule Matrix and Students Without Course Requests – These reports now have a Student Filter.
Health:
Immunization and Screening Windows – The age and date of birth of each student now displays on the Immunization Information window and each of the Screening Information windows.
Immunization Windows – Users can now add immunizations with just exemptions without having a date done or due date.
Health Window Performance – Enhancements have been made to improve the display speed of the Health Desk window.
